Hello everyone. This is my first post. Please forgive me if I am offensive in anyway due to my ignorance. I am embarrassed to say that I have never spoken to a deaf person before I met this woman in Seoul, South Korea. It was a blind date. I did not know she is deaf. I saw her and smiled at her. She turned and signed to her friend. That was when I realized she was deaf.
She, her friend, and I had dinner then drinks and wrote(in Korean) on a notebook. The date was extremely comfortable and smooth. She seemed to like me and I know that I liked her. The problems are: 1) I cant speak/write korean well; 2)she knows no English;3) I know nothing about deaf culture or how to act. I was so afraid that I would offend her. I wanted her not to care about others watching them signing and other people watching. I really didnt care. The koreans will all watch. I really like her so much. I felt so at peace with her. She is so beautiful and so kind. I just want to get to know her. My questions are: 1.does anyone have any resources to learn Korean sign language? 2) How can I pursue her(in honorable fashion) and let her know I care about her so much. I felt such a strong attraction to her, but also there was a large gap due to language and she is deaf and I am hearing. Please help me. And again, I am sorry if I am unintentionally offensive.
